Dallas-based NexPoint has said it's ready to invest over $3.6 billion ino the Texas Research Quarter—a sprawling life science-focused innovation district planned at and around the former EDS campus in Plano's Legacy development. Now the city of Plano has turned the first key to help unlock what could be a game-changer for North Texas' growing biotech boom.
The multi-billion investment firm’s two-property industrial deal in Philadelphia builds on its commitment to grow in the “critical sector.” Closer to home, NexPoint recently unveiled plans for a massive life sciences district in Plano. The proposed 200-acre TxS development would be a "major economic catalyst" for North Texas, the firm’s founder said in February.
Dallas-based alternative investment firm NexPoint has revealed details and renderings of its planned 200-acre TxS District, short for "Technology x Science." Centered on the former headquarters campus of EDS in Plano's Legacy development, the life sciences hub could eventually offer over 4 million square feet of lab, office, and therapeutic production space.
"Not only would this project be a major economic catalyst for the region, but it would also establish North Texas as a leader in life sciences," says James Dondero, NexPoint founder and principal.
